Friends from The River

I spent the last 2 weeks serving with friends from The River Community Church in Highland, Michigan – 8 men and women with a love for the people of South Africa, and a desire to share the hope of Christ. It was an extra-special treat for me because we had served together years ago when our River and Kensington teams came to Thrive Africa together.

(Hope you enjoy The River pictures in the slide show on the left)

Working in Qwa Qwa, they built relationships with families and shared the Christ’s love in tangible ways: doing chores, planting gardens, caring for the sick. They also led children’s ministry each afternoon beginning with 48 kids on the first day, and ending with whopping 78 kids on the last day as excitement spread through the village.

Pastor Maria from Lighthouse Ministries Church was so excited to have the team come into her community sharing Christ’s love and connecting people with her church. She was encouraged as well because it confirmed that the Lord was truly moving in her church and village.

Please pray with me.
- That the seeds that were planted in the soil and in people’s hearts will grow into a plentiful harvest.
- That Lighthouse Ministries continues to thrive, reaching people for Christ and helping those in need in their community.
- That The River team is continues to be blessed by their experiences here.

Thanks for your prayers and support!
